The Great Canadian Hair Do

Great Canadian Hair-Do
We are very excited to have our first event of the year.  Our kick-off event is the Great Canadian Hair-Do, which helps raise awareness and donations for the Terry Fox Foundation.  The best part is everyone is welcomed, and encouraged to participate.  Here is your chance York Students to "do"  something they don’t do everyday, your change to BE BRAVE TO SHAVE.  If you are not as ambitious as some, we offer hair-colouring as well!  Doing this will help bring awareness and help fund cancer research.

What if you don't want to change your hair?

We will also be offering students and/or staffs various activities, such as Button Making, Hanna Tattoo, and Photo Booth opportunities.  By participating, students/staffs donate money to Terry Fox Foundation which helps raising money for Cancer Research.

Volunteers

We are always looking for volunteers to help with our event!  This is a great opportunity to get involved with the York Community, meet new people, and also build your co-curricular record.  Volunteers will have the opportunity to spread the word of fun things happening on campus, hand out giveaways and popcorn to the York Community.
